    Was thinking on the lines of the laughing cow as a sort of nickname (The laughing Brit) but (The laughable Brit) is good IMO and grammatically correct <laugh>

    I don't know much about my namesake Chilton but is he really useless or is there a feeling that he's undeserving due to nepotism?

    Nepotism + no talent: great combination! I can see why he's so popular on here <laugh>


    Edit: BTW, what's this got to do with Paddy Lowe? :emoticon-0138-think

    He's not that bad. He was 4th-5th in GP2 last year, so he can't be the worst driver ever.

    Do people want stuff moved into a Chilton thread, or happy to let this thread run?

    A di Resta/Chilton hate thread may be more appropriate looking at the how many knives are out for these guys on this board

    Begs the question of why he wasn't invited to the launch?

    Gardening leave, silver flowers should pop up around about August...

    But then again, maybe his contract runs out in 2013 and McLaren cant do anything to him then.

    Paddy Lowe remained conspicuous by their absence throughout - the McLaren Technical Director a non-attendee at an event unveiling his latest work following widespread speculation suggesting he could follow Hamilton to Mercedes.But asked whether Lowe was poised to leave Woking for good, Whitmarsh insisted: "The one certainty is that Paddy will be part of the team for another year. It's less certain - as I think has been speculated in the media - beyond that but I'm sure we'll have some certainty in the near future."

    Interesting but not really surprising! Thanks for passing that on though. Shame he has to wait the whole year on gardening leave though, IMO, assuming this is true.

    Mclaren could really be in trouble IF it's true. 2009 all over again?
